I’m no fan of Skip Bayless (not even close) but this proves that even a blind hog can find an acorn. I think Cole is overrated. I think Cuz is not. I do think Cole is bigger challenge than most Cuz would face, but the clearly superior player in this matchup is Cuz.
FWIW, “overrated” doesn’t mean not good. Cole is a really good Center. Just not the nations best as most preseason all american polls listed him. Cuz is better, among others. The rest of that Kansas team is accurately rated or underrated. They should be the favorite to win it all.
